Good action camera

The HDR-AS100V has aged pretty well and it makes the Sony HDR-AS200V look like a minor improvement. Even though you save about $30 if you settle for the Sony HDR-AS100V, you can use those savings to buy a good SDXC memory card or perhaps some optional accessories.

Sony's secret weapon that gives you more bang for your back

The Sony HDR AS100V seems to be a great contender in the world of action cameras even when it stands against some of the well-established GoPro cameras. While this camera doesn’t have the highest spec available today (4K), it can shoot up to 1080p video and is perfect for those of you who want to save money....

In a market that’s becoming increasingly crowded, the Sony Action Cam does what it claims it will do, and does so effectively. It shoots good quality video and images and has enough options to allow you to customize its use to your own liking. The Steady Shot image stabilization is probably the most impressive I’ve seen in a camera of this kind.

The footage is impressive, but the price is high

Records excellent quality footage, but it's expensive and the mounting system could be improved. The wrist-worn remote is easy to use but can’t play back footage, which is frustrating, and the standard helmet mount only works on full-face or pisspot lids with a large surface area.

Easy to capture all the action

It easily stands up against its competitors in terms of being recognized as an action camera. It can be mounted almost anywhere, so you have a lot of choice in terms of the angles that you want to film from and this allows you to record footage that you will want to watch time after time.

Hugely impressive Image stabilization

The question most people will want to know the answer to: should I purchase the Sony or a GoPro Hero 3? With regards to image quality there isn’t much between the two, but the GoPro is vastly superior in terms of water proofing, mounting options and the quality of the mounts. The Sony wins for image stabilisation, low light recording and GPS, which is a great feature.

Really solid, well-priced action camera

Sony's Full-HD action camera is a really mixed bag, it offers superb sound capture, ease-of-use and fantastic colour reproduction. Where it lets itself down though is in the actual quality of the footage, it was nowhere near as sharp as we were expecting, especially at Full-HD.

It'll be fine for home videos and for uploading to YouTube but if you're looking for something to show off on your newly bought Full-HD/4K Curved TV then perhaps this isn't for you. What it is though is a really solid, well-priced action camera for the casual user who wants to capture those family moments as well as those extreme ones.
